How I Play My Level 75 Paladin / Enchanter / Druid / Wizard / Mage with Parses

Hamrok runs the level 75 daily quest in Direwind Cliffs killing Dark Root Warriors with the full 6-box (Paladin tank, Enchanter, Druid, Wizard, two Mages). Parses overlay running the whole time to compare each character's DPS contribution.

March 23, 2026

The full 6-box at level 75 takes on the Direwind Cliffs daily quest, killing Dark Root Warriors with the parser overlay running the whole fight. The Wizard dominates DPS, the upgraded Mage shows a clear lead over the unupgraded one, and the Paladin tank struggles with an outdated weapon.

6-box parses Daily quest Level 75 baseline

Episode Summary

What happens in this run.

  • Direwind Cliffs daily quest: kill 5 Dark Root Warriors.
  • Six characters running together: Paladin tank, Enchanter, Druid, Wizard, and two Mages (one upgraded to level 75 spells, one still on level 70 spells for comparison).
  • Mob AoE root keeps breaking auto-follow, forcing manual repositioning all the way through the cave path.
  • Death at the end after pulling 6 to 7 mobs at once, confirming the 75 limits of the box.
  • Parser overlay running throughout to capture per-character DPS contribution.

Parse Results

Who carries the box at level 75.

  • Group average: About 3,500 sustained damage per character across the whole run.
  • Wizard (Ketka): Top DPS in every fight. Almost 2x the next character. Likely the top spot for the rest of the box's lifespan.
  • Mage (Soldotna, upgraded): Roughly 400 DPS ahead of the unupgraded Mage just from the level 75 spell line and earring focus.
  • Mage (Holdredge, level 70 spells): Same gear and pet, no level 75 upgrades. Direct comparison point for what one tier of spells is worth.
  • Pet contribution: The Mage pet ran at about half its mage's total damage. Roughly 5% of the entire group damage came from the pet alone.
  • Paladin tank: Lower DPS due to a severely outdated two-handed weapon. Next priority upgrade.

Parser quirk: The Dark Root Warrior parses are getting grouped together since they share a name, so per-mob breakdowns are weird in this run.

Boxing Pain Points

Quality of life issues at this level.

  • AoE root mobs: The Dark Root Warriors have an AoE root that breaks auto-follow on every pull. Almost capped magic resist makes this more frustration than threat.
  • Holding aggro: Hardest part of running a Paladin tank at 75. Pet aggro is fine since it's friendly fire, but losing a caster to aggro is a wipe.
  • Force spell: Considering dropping Force from the Paladin multibind. Long cast time, not pulling its weight at this level. Another heal might be a better slot.
  • Servers crashed yesterday: Lost all the pets, had to resummon and reassign before the run. Mage pet management remains a constant tax on box play.

What's Next

Plans after the daily.

  • 27th Anniversary: Switching focus to the 130 characters for anniversary content for the next several days. Hamrok Slays Undead returns after.
  • Gear upgrades: Three Gribbles run for currency, then Broken Mirror for more upgrades. Paladin weapon is the highest priority slot.
  • Old raids: Considering revisiting Velious raids like South Temple of Veeshan for free upgrades. Most slots are missing pieces that are trivial at this level.
  • Berserker leveling: Power-leveling the heroic Berserker to 130 in parallel with the box.

Hello and welcome to how I play my level 75 paladin, druid, enchanter, mage, and mage and wizard. There’s two mages. Uh today we’re what we’re going to do is we’re going to do the daily quest for uh level 75 here, which is put me in Dire Wind Cliffs to kill five Dark Route Warriors. Now, if I’m not mistaken, the Dark Root Warriors are these dudes right over here. So, uh we’ve already done that. So, uh, this should, you know, be a pretty nice little thing. We’re going to show the the parsing. I got, uh, got the log parser going. So, we’re going to just kind of play here for a little bit, look at the logs, and see where this goes. Now, I need to get rid of uh, flying real quick. So, let me uh, see if I can find it here. Oh, where is it? I don’t even see it. There it is. Flight of the Falcons. I need to make like there’s like a way you can make a uh a button right to uh block it and then unblock it and uh that is what I need to do. So you block it and it gets rid of it and then you unblock it so you can get it again. But uh I think we’re good. Jeez, that’s uh that’s a terrible terrible thing to have on you when you don’t want it. Uh let’s see. We need to go up this way. So kill this guy. So these Jeez, I am like stunned right off the bat. Make sure we have everything. I have not I have not like literally played in a while. So this might be a little buff at first here as I uh as I get going here, but we should be fine. So we’re just going to make our way up. Let’s see here. Right up through here. Why are you losing aggro? What am I losing aggro to? The pet. Which pet is that? Wow, that guy just just jumping all over the place. What is going on? Is there like uh Okay, there’s that little red thing out there. All right. What is uh like I haven’t played like I was going to play the other day and then the server went down and then I was just like I don’t talk. But you can see uh the DPS right now as we go through here is uh pretty interesting. Uh the uh wizard obviously taking the top top there. And then Satana. So Satan and old are both mages, right? Satna is set up for the level 75 setup whereas Oldridge is still the level 70 set. I did that on purpose to kind of show how much we’re gaining uh from each level to the next level. Right. So, right, these are all gatherers. So, I don’t think none of these are what we want, but we’ll just go ahead and kill him anyway. So, it’s kind of like the uh the thought process there. Everything should be good. She’s healing him, right? We need to get those pets assigned to people. But uh Seldatna has the upgraded earring whereas Holddridge does not. So there is some differences there. No one else has any updated jewelry only cuz I didn’t I didn’t uh but uh it is what it is. And this character doesn’t even have her pets. So keep that in mind. Uh see your leader cuz the server went down and I lost all my pets. So, I forgot to resummon it. Uh, we should be able to just go right over this little cliff right here. I’m going to guess that there’s only one place for these dark dark root guys. So, I’m assuming they’re up in here in these dark caves. That is my my guess. But, uh, we’ll see. So, Kekka is still just dominating the DPS with her uh with her setup. So, I must be doing something right there. And you can see all the pets are assigned to the correct character. So, that should work pretty well there. Let’s clear the parse. See if that makes it a little different. But uh so I’m I’m recording this on um Sunday, right? Yeah, I’m recording this on March 15th. So tomorrow is when the anniversary starts. This video is not going to air for probably another week after that. Um but I will be playing the 130 characters for a little bit during the anniversary time until we get all the items we need. So, we’re going to get all the uh anniversary items and then we will come back to these characters uh for the stream after all all that’s done and whatnot. So, keep that in mind if you uh really excited about that. Well, you’re going to be see you’re going to be seeing uh anniversary stuff probably for most of the anniversary time until I get everything knocked out. All right, we’re getting closer to this tunnel over here. But uh definitely uh doing a lot of doing a lot of stuff. I took I took like pretty much the week of spring break to work on things. I got uh theoretically I have a transparent a transparent uh chat overlay for both Twitch and uh YouTube. So, that is kind of going to be uh something I’m hoping works. And then, uh I’m working on a bunch of things. I’m going to probably try to So, I’m going to like I use this uh stream beats music, right? That’s what I use in the background for everything. Um but I play through Spotify and I I’m at the point where I’m like, you know what? It’s time to let’s let’s kill Spotify, right? you know, I’m done with it. I’m sick of paying, you know, increasing fees every month for the exact same thing, right? I’m not getting anything new out of this, right? So, uh I’m going to I’m going to download all the music cuz uh the guy who creates the stream beats provides it all for free and I’m going to put it uh just locally here. And then I’m going to build a Twitch enabled uh music player that’ll allow me to uh take music requests. I know someone requested that at some point in time to be able to change the music I’m listening to. So, I’ll fill it up with, you know, copyright free music. I’ll probably put the entire stream catalog in there and then uh have that set up so it’ll just, you know, play whatever play whatever music is requested or the the the uh that. So, that’s that’s on my to-do list. Uh getting that going. Uh I’ve been working on my uh game, which is a firsterson shooter. I’ve not shown any screenshots. I don’t believe of it yet, but I’m still in the uh early development stages of getting everything working the way I want before I start building levels and stuff. Uh but I’m going to try to try to turn that into a commercial release. And once I have, you know, stuff built enough to uh to actually do stuff with it, I am going to start posting more about it so that it’s uh you know, some advertising, I guess. you know, maybe a Steam page and all that stuff. I I got a whole concept and uh you know, uh I’ve got like a whole entire thought process and we lost red. Uh see here you box color hero. Oh, we also lost volage. Uh, why did we lose? Oh, yeah. I remember now. These things have a root or something. It’s like an AoE route, right? Uh, which breaks auto fallout. I totally forgot about that. All right. So, now we know, now we can remember that. So, have that going. So, hopefully there we go. There’s our first warrior. I don’t know how many mobs were into this, but uh, yeah. For some reason, all the mobs are not showing up on the uh on the parse. I’m only It’s like, let me uh Pamrock last 8 hours. It’s only showing five cuz they all have the same name. I guess it’s grouping them or something. I don’t know. Maybe I need to update my uh my log cursor here. But uh are they still with me? No, you guys are down there. Oh my god, this is going to be annoying. Let’s go back and grab them. So, we’re at 205. This is a tender. This is not Let’s go back and get those guys. Whoever didn’t make the follow there, it’s like everybody’s breaking follow cuz I guess he’s doing an A route. Terrible mobs, terrible uh mechanic considering I’m like max I’m almost max resist anyway. So, it just like frustration really. All right, that doesn’t look like a mob I want to go fight with. That’s just like a random route there, too. Guess we’re just going to fight our way through here until we get you see that AoE route now that I’m actually paying attention to it. All right, there’s another warrior. Perfect. There we go. Now, do I still have both pets? Yeah, both pets are still alive. Perfect. I see Katka still number one DPS. Uh I believe that’s going to stay the same for like the rest of the game, honestly. Uh I think in my first uh my first uh my first wizard, I was not doing some stuff right, and then I I eventually figured it all out, right? uh which gives me a little bit better of an opportunity to do more DPS with some of the spells I cast. They’re very specific spells in a lot of teams, but uh gets that multivine going a little bit better. Uh the mage the mages might kick up a little bit on the DPS, but right now look at that like kick is like double DPS. She’s uh and I think maybe once she wasn’t she wasn’t even like in the right spot for combat either, right? So, all right. This is this is going to be the most lame parsing log ever because it is not showing the individual creatures correctly or something. I don’t know. All right. And this will be the last one here. This will give us uh this should give us a item. I don’t know what item, but uh we need to come back over here cuz no one followed. There we go. And uh Oh, yeah. So, I was also working on uh building uh trying to build a multibboxing solution for uh Linux. And I got it to the point where so I use uh I use one password for all my passwords, right? So I was able to get it so I can auto log in to 20 accounts. So all my overseer accounts on my editing box, right? Uh got it to log them all in automatically. So it’ll like send the, you know, send the keys and stuff and logs them all in and it’s uh it’s pretty nice in all honesty. Uh intricate defiant belt. go ahead and upgrade that one. And uh so I can log in all my accounts that I have on that that computer, right? Uh and then I was like, okay, can we broadcast keys? And we I got it to broadcast keys. Um it’s it works. It’s uh like I you know you play from one com one character and it’ll broadcast keys but every key is like is like alt tabbed to the next one it’s sent uh because the the way the the Linux wayand uh display manager does not allow you to actually like send keys to things the same way Windows does. So it’s a little janky. Now, I think if I play just three characters, it’s going to be um you know, it’d be a decent solution, right? This one, that’s not an upgrade. Oh, what is this? Come on. Mouse over, please. Shoulders. And so, I’ll probably put that on GitHub just so uh if anybody wants to use it, they can. But uh definitely uh as I as I continue to make my transition to fully use Linux for all my stuff, right? I’ve moved my editing to Linux. I’ve moved my laptop from uh Mac OS to Linux. Uh I want to move this my streaming box to Linux and just be fully done uh with anything else. But uh still not there yet. I got to figure out the Go XLR problem still. Uh that just uh it’s like dead. It’s dead hardware, right? But I still use it cuz still works on Windows. Uh but I don’t believe they upgraded anymore or there’s any patches for it’s just completely dead. The company died or something like that. So definitely. All right. Uh we killed the five here. I don’t want to kill these anymore cuz they keep breaking follow. So let’s go kill uh slightly different mobs in the same zone. All right. So, we’re down here by uh by this area. Now, if we go over I think over this way, we should have mobs we can fight if everybody wants to follow me, please. But, uh uh so, you know, it’s it’s a solution like uh it’s it’s it would be equivalent to like all tabbing. Uh there’s still things that I would want to change like it it would be equivalent to alt tabbing which uh like so like a lot of these tools like uh is boxer does inject something into the windows so you can control a little bit. I think that’s how they get it to actually work here in Windows but my Linux solution does not inject anything. It is purely uh using the XDO and YDO libraries to send the keys. Uh the YDO one uses it at a colonel level. That’s the only reason it actually works in um what is it? Uh the only reason it works in Whand. So definitely uh definitely an interesting thing. I’ve learned a lot. Oh yeah. Yeah. Remember this guy? Is this the same guy still? It was just the bandwave. Where is he at? I don’t even see him. Oh, there he is right there. Same guy still. There was a bandwave and they still didn’t get rid of him. Interesting, right? Mhm. I don’t go through the effort of reporting people though, so you have to really piss me off to even get me to even think about going through doing a petition. I you’d have to really really piss me off. P me up multiple times. But uh that guy’s still there. There you go. All right. And then see that there fragments. All right. We can ignore all whatever that is. Just going to kind of like go up the up the path here like we did that one time just to kill some mobs and get them uh get them schwacked if you will. Uh I think we did this at like level 70 before so obviously it’s going to be easier at 75 with uh all our spells and stuff. Make sure they’re all with me. And then walk across the bridge and perfect six guardian. All right, let’s see if we can kill this guy. Like you see, I think they were red before cuz they were they were like way lower level way uh definitely easier now. All right. And we got a blue diamond. Sweet. I don’t know why I can’t target that guy right there, but hopefully it’s him. Look at that cat. It’s like just absolutely destroying these things. Outpost Guardian. So, I mean, you can see here this is uh pretty much fairly easy in all honesty, right? Like, got that item. Let’s go ahead and put that on so we get a little bit more haste out of this ring now. I was thinking about it the other day. My gear is so bad. I could go back and do old raids now, get gear upgrades. I could do uh I could do like uh what is it? Uh to Temple of Vishian, right? And uh pick up at least some some kind of upgrade. Like I know some of these characters are missing things in some slots. Definitely could uh just go through there and do that, right? That might be something we do. But uh kind of funny. Now, this is going to suck, right? So, this is going to be terrible. Now, none of this is messable. Like, like when I ran through here before, I don’t think anything m. So, let’s just see what happens. And uh just deal with it, right? Holding aggro is the hardest thing right now at this level. All right. Bust that one, too. Not sure. Actually got aggro on this one. Now it’s a pet. Perfect. Losing aggro to a pet is perfectly fine for me, so I’m okay with that. All right, that was easier than last time. remember he had the evac. This guy uh I was going to say he doesn’t want to fight, but here we go. All right, he’s an even con. So, I do not like force. I’m I’m thinking about moving force out of the out of our multivine. It’s just a long cast, right? Just not feeling it like I used to. I think another heal there might be uh better and healing. Jeez, what is going on here? Pure life. Yeah, she is. There we go. We got some outpost to seal we don’t care about right now. So, we can move on up. Uh what we’re going to do is we’re going to get all the way to the uh I think the guardians we’ll call it there just to kind of wrap this up. I don’t know how many mobs we got, but it wasn’t showing. It’s not like all the all the dark root ones are all stacked on this the same mob. It’s kind of weird. Uh because they have the same name, I guess. I don’t know. Go across the bridge. I don’t even know how this is going to play out here. How’s mana? We still were still good on mana, right? Like uh I think I have uh Oh jeez. I think I have higher level. Oh my god. Jeez. Okay. Okay, that’s where we’ll call that. Oh my god, that was too many mobs. Did anybody else die? No. Okay, well, there you go. Don’t pull one, two, three, four, five, six, seven mobs. Don’t pull six or seven mobs. There you go. All right, let’s get him back to the go lobby. And let’s get them all back to the guild hall here. All right, we can bring in Oh my god, I hate how uh the window forces itself to be always on top and it’s not loading cuz uh oh when it’s loading something cuz it just really annoys me. There we go. All right. So, level 75. Obviously, we died at the end, but uh let’s take a look at the stuff here. We’re our average damage for the entire uh entire situation here looks to be about 3 almost 3.5,000. So, you can see here uh you know, Kadka top DPS by almost almost twice in most situations. Now, Holdridge here uh is still using level 75. Sorry, my phone. Uh Holdridge is still using level 75 spells whereas uh Satan is so you know 400 DPS upgrade over that from there to there. So that’s pretty good. Um let’s see here. Um you know, Ketkas number one, you know, damage out of that. If we look at spells, wizard, looks like she’s casting wild magic strike the most, right? Uh, which that actually does uh some of these other spells. Uh, I don’t know. Yeah, I think so. So, definitely nice there. Uh, see here, the tanks, you know, doing decent damage. his weapon is severely outdated. So, that is a down, you know, a big issue, right? Um, and you know what I plan to do from 75 up is we’re going to do uh we’re going to go and do three gribbles and then uh use the currency we get from there to upgrade a few pieces of gear. Uh then we’re going to go do the broken mirror stuff and do, you know, upgrade some more pieces from that currency. So, we’ll be doing that the next uh Hamrock Slays Undeads uh stream. But you can see uh you know, it’s pretty decent here. Like the pet is doing 5% of her damage um or 5% of the total damage. Calling me twice doesn’t help. Uh let’s see here. So, it’s about uh looks to be about half of the damage she did. So, it’s pretty nice there. Uh, then Holderidge is obviously uh definitely on the lower end there. But, uh, definitely that’s that. I mean, I don’t have much to say about this. Like, wizard is number one. I mean, just just not much to say about it other than that. So, I got a res and all that stuff, but we’ll we’ll focus on that later. Uh, but, you know, stay tuned. The next few videos are going to be anniversary related for the next uh foreseeable future until we get all those done. Uh and that that’ll benefit these characters, but we’ll be streaming the 130 characters and uh leveling up the Berserker to 130 at the same time, too. So, there’ll be a little sidebreak there in all this. Uh but this video is coming out a week later, so you probably already saw that. Uh but thank you very much for watching and please have a fantastic day.
